Okonedo and Lester shine in their roles as marrieds and determined professionals; their performances keep the whole thing from completely going off the rails, even during the goofy conclusion. Undercover isn’t exactly a misstep for Moffat, but it does lack the focus we’re accustomed to seeing in his work.

Like both “Criminal Justice” and “The Night Of,” “Undercover” is concerned with the collateral damage wrought by the legal system, with its corrosive effect on lawyers, judges, defendants and, in this case, undercover cops. Unfortunately, these worthy and relevant themes get lost in the overgrown narrative weeds.

Undercover could have been far better, but it just isn’t. Nonetheless, it’s worth your time, if only to wallow in the brilliance of Okonedo’s performance and to consider what might have been if only Moffat had exercised some restraint.
